Following the progress of a little bird (which I presently believe to be a Song Thrush) who is nesting on a lamp post below my flat.

Abandonment!

Sad news- It became apparent over the weekend that Mavis has abandoned her nest. The nest looks a bit smashed up and the eggs are gone so my best guess is that the nest has been raided by a magpie. Its a little bit sad, but in truth it was unlikely that the nest would ever succeed. If the chicks did hatch, fledging from that high level with the busy road underneath would have been perilous!
